Climate Change

To mark the signing of the historic United Nations climate agreement in New York on 22 April 2016, IHE Delft has compiled a showcase of recent work. Our water experts support governments, cities, private sector organizations, development agencies, research and education institutes worldwide in tackling issues caused by climate change.

Finding solutions through adaptation and mitigation

Given that almost all our activities relate in some way to climate change, whether addressing drought, flooding, erosion or other issues, we have selected only those that have climate change as their main focus.

In the special issue to be downloaded from this page, we highlight some activities from our three main focus areas: Education, Research & Innovation and Capacity Development. In some cases, the work spans more than one of these areas.

As part of the UNESCO Water Family we are conscious of the pressing need to contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

We have been working with governments for almost 60 years, addressing their varying needs for tackling climate change vulnerabilities in their country. If you are committed to addressing climate change risks by signing the COP21 Paris Agreement and you are now looking for a partner to help you achieve your goals, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Vanessa de Oliveira, Liaison Officer - International Relations at IHE Delft.
